Preview images etc. for Asset Browser poses

I expanded the functionality of the pose library installer a bit.

There is an option to import preview images with the poses, also it’s possible to add a description, the author and some tags (comma seperated). I included the three image name systems I know (<file>.png,<file>.tip.png or <file>.<ext>.png). I prefer .tip.png, because when these are present, there are also smaller images which I found too small for my taste. When no preview image can be loaded, it will be generated.

I don’t really know how to handle catalogs yet. But since the tags work, it’s not really a problem to select a bunch of assets and move them to the right catalog manually.
